new baby, easter, race for the cure, camping etc.

To start out our biggest news is that we have a new addition to our extended family. Tori Lynn Davis. My brother and his wife had their third baby March 13th 3 days after parkers birthday. Easter activities included the ward breakfast and easter egg hunt, the easter bunny visiting our house and having a hunt and an easter egg hunt at grandma and grandpad Davis' house for our family home evening activity. On easter Tim got called to be the ward membership clerk. Lucky him! We decided as a family to do the race for the cure this year in honor of a family friend Eileen Knighton who lost her battle with cancer earlier this year. We prepared for 2 weeks by walking as our exercise. We made it in 107 mins longer than we hoped but what can you expect when it's so crowded it's hard to pass other people. Last weekend we went to Moab with our friends the Irelands( and two of her sisters) and the Morris'. It was a fun experience. Can't wait to do it again. We camped 23 miles up the colorado river in hittle campground or something like that. Most of the men went and road slick rock trail(except Tim as he doesn't have a mountain bike) so the rest of us played at a fun park and on a Sandy mountain as Cobly called it. We had dutch oven potatoes and dutch oven rootbeer chicken and dutch oven peach cobbler that night. Then next morning we all packed up and went to arches and hiked to delicate arch. Only 3 of us had been their before. and I am proud to Say Colby hiked it all on his own the entire time without getting carried once step of the way. I on the hand barley made it but did! Below are pictures of the past couple of months.


Tori Lynn looks just like her daddy! Blonde hair and all
